The Department of Energy (DOE) has submitted an information collection package to the OMB for extension under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The package requests a three-year extension of its ``Procurement Reporting and Record Keeping Burdens,'' OMB Control Number 1910-4100. This information collection package collects data that is used by the Department to exercise management oversight and control over contractors including management and operating (M&O) contractors operating DOE's facilities and other contractors furnishing goods and services with regard to implementation of applicable statutory, regulatory and contractual requirements and obligations. The information collection requires that contractors submit information pertaining to their Procurement activities such as acquisition of real property, facilities management, and subcontracting goals and reporting requirements. The collection is critical to ensure that the Government has sufficient information to judge the degree to which contractors are meeting requirements, that public funds are spent in an efficient and effective manner and that fraud, waste and abuse are avoided. The Department published a Notice and Request for Comment for this collection in the Federal Register on December 10, 2004 at 69 FR 71807. No comments were received in response to the Notice.

This notice has been issued under the authority of section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2160). The Department is providing notice of a proposed ``subsequent arrangement'' under the Agreement for Cooperation Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy between the United States and Canada and Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy between the United States and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM). This subsequent arrangement concerns the retransfer of 59,172 kg of U.S.-origin natural uranium hexafluoride, 40,000 kg of which is uranium, from Cameco Corp., Port Hope, Ontario, Canada to Urenco Capenhurst, United Kingdom. The material, which is now located at Cameco Corp., Port Hope, Ontario, will be transferred to Urenco Capenhurst for toll enrichment. Upon completion of the enrichment, Urenco Capenhurst will transfer the material for final use by the Florida Power & Light Company. Cameco Corp. originally obtained the uranium hexafluoride under NRC Export License XSOU8798. In accordance with section 131 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, we have determined that this subsequent arrangement is not inimical to the common defense and security. This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than fifteen days after the date of publication of this notice.
